ProgramData

ProgramData specifies the path to the program-data folder (normally C:\ProgramData). Unlike the Program Files folder, this folder can be used by applications to store data for standard users, because it does not require elevated permissions.

Warning

We don’t recommend using this setting, except perhaps in a test environment. The following are known issues:

The Windows® Store and Windows Store apps are not supported.

If you change the default location of the program-data folders to a volume other than the system volume, you cannot service your image. Any updates, fixes, or service packs may not be applied to the installation.
